Revelation 17:5-18 KJV
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH . [6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. [8] The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. [9] And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. [10] And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. [11] And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Grasshopper Invasion of Las Vegas May Last Weeks, Experts Say
An unusually wet year is responsible for the biblical-seeming swarm of pallid-winged grasshoppers, according to entomologists.
An unseasonably wet spring has caused an infestation of the migratory pallid-winged grasshoppers that could last for weeks.

A swarm of winged insects enveloped a pyramid: Sound familiar?
An invasion of pallid-winged grasshoppers descended on Las Vegas this past week, taking over the Strip and several of the city’s most popular tourist spots, including the night skies above the Luxor hotel and casino.
The resort, a 30-story pyramid inspired by ancient Egypt, says that its Sky Beam, a powerful column of light issuing nightly from the peak of the pyramid, can be seen by airline pilots as far away as Los Angeles.
But the beam has also become a magnet for grasshoppers, which experts say could linger in Las Vegas for weeks.
Jeff Lockwood, a professor of natural sciences and humanities at the University of Wyoming who has written extensively about grasshoppers, said the infestation was not a cause for the locust,s
“We can probably blame the Book of Exodus,” he said. “I think that kind of planted a seed in Western culture and Western mindset of these outbreaks sort of being dark and dangerous.”
Although some locusts are part of the grasshopper family, experts have reassuring news for the apocalyptically minded, who may be inclined to see parallels with the biblical plagues: These grasshoppers are not locusts.
An unusually wet year so far in Las Vegas, which has already exceeded its annual rainfall average of about four inches, is responsible for the arrival of the grasshoppers, said Jeff Knight, an entomologist with the Nevada Department of Agriculture.
The insects migrated from southern Nevada and possibly from as far as Arizona, according to Mr. Knight, who said they were not considered a problem
“They don’t bite,” he said. “They don’t sting. People don’t like them. That’s understandable.”
Grasshoppers are drawn to ultraviolet light, he added.
“What we would consider the white lights are the ones we would consider more attractive to them,” Mr. Knight said, mentioning as an example the use of yellow light bulbs on porches.
May Berenbaum, the head of the entomology department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said the Luxor Sky Beam was well known for drawing insects — almost always “a dense column of moths.”
MGM Resorts International, which owns the Luxor, declined to comment.
Nancy Ryan, a comic who hosts the X Burlesque show at the Flamingo hotel on the Strip, posted a video taken by her husband, a comedian who performs as John Bizarre, early Friday morning of a swarm outside the resort.
“I think most locals are taking it in stride because this occurs every few years,” she said. “Since there’s more than usual, I think the dramatic videos are causing a bit of hysteria.”
But the current sensation pales in comparison to the reaction in medieval Europe, where, scholars said, the grasshoppers’ relatives — the locusts — were put on trial in ecclesiastical courts. The insects even had lawyers assigned to defend them.
“You’re assuming the locusts are the work of the devil,” said Mr. Lockwood, who wrote an opera with two of his University of Wyoming colleagues called “Locust: The Opening
Grasshoppers get short shrift compared with other insects, scholars said. While crickets are full of symbolism and are often considered good luck, particularly in Asia, grasshoppers don’t often evoke the same positive associations, according to Dr. Berenbaum.
Crickets “get the good press,” she said. “Grasshoppers, not so much.”
“Grasshoppers don’t even come out well in the Aesop story,” she added, referring to a fable — attributed to the ancient Greek storyteller Aesop — about members of an ant colony shrugging at a starving grasshopper who had failed to store food for the fall and winter.
Dr. Berenbaum said that “grasshoppers have been used in heraldic shields, family crests and the like, but usually because it’s a pun on the name.”
Mr. Knight said that in his 40 years as an entomologist, he had seen more significant outbreaks.
“We measure grasshoppers per square yard,” he said. “It’s really hard to quantify how many. It’s kind of a unique thing that happens. We have outbreaks of insects periodically. I guess you’d call it an outpouring
As the desert gets drier during the summer, the grasshoppers migrate to find food, Mr. Lockwood said.
“Their food source is getting pretty grim,” he said. “By golly, the city of Las Vegas is just filled with patches of green. What might be the magnet is in fact the green plants, as much as the lights at night.”
Brittani Sheehan, who lives just outside Las Vegas, reposted a photo on Twitter of a giant swarm of grasshoppers above the Luxor.

“The reaction isn’t necessarily a fear, more so just an annoyance,” Ms. Sheehan said on Twitter. “I’ll have 12 grasshoppers leap in my mom’s direction whenever she leaves the house.”
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority said it did not have any information about the potential effect of the infestation on tourism.
Mr. Knight advised against spraying pesticides to kill the grasshoppers.
“You can get rid of them, but in 24 or 48 hours they’re just going to be back,” he said.
The pallid-winged grasshopper typically feeds on broad-leafed weeds, according to Mr. Knight, who said other insects, birds, lizards, foxes and coyotes can prey on grasshoppers.
Dr. Berenbaum said she was amused by all the buzz over grasshoppers.
“This is not going to be a plague of biblical proportions,” she said. “It’s always interesting to me when insects reclaim what was theirs.”
